Q.

Calculate the magnitude of ring strain energy in (kJ/mol) of cyclopropane from the for the following  data :

ΔfHC3H6(g)=55;ΔfH[C(g)]=715.0

ΔfH[H(g)]=220;Be(CC)=355;BE(CH)=410 (all in kJ/ mole)

Question Image

3C(s)+3C(g) ΔH2=3×715   =2145kJ/mol

3H2(s)6H(g)  ΔH3=6×220 = 1320 kJ/mol-1

3C(g)+4H(g) Question ImageH4

ΔH4=BE(3CC+6CH)+ Ring Strain Energy (RSE) 

=ΔH1ΔH2ΔH3

 R.S.E. =ΔH1ΔH2ΔH3+ B.E. (3CC+6CH)=5521451320+(3×355+6×410)=115kJ/mol
